Liana’s POVWhat could be the reason why Matilda specifically requested to see no one but Conan to make matters worse, I kind of heard her grunt as Conan waltzed out of the room. “What happened and why did she demand to see you?” My parents asked, directing the question to Conan who shrugged. “She seems to be in utter disbelief concerning some things. She also thinks that the suspect is Bruce Lawrence. Honestly, sir, I feel like you should take great precautions against the rival pack and stop all of these future attacks from happening!” “If something isn’t done now, then matters would only get worse” Conan advised running his hands through his hair. My father heaved a sigh, almost losing balance as he slumped on the chair. “I wouldn’t let this matter pass but if you were in my position? What would you do when someone is bent on destroying you and your family? What would you do if you were the one in a dilemma like this!”Conan scratched his head. “Well, I would fight back and mak
ConanHe blinked once, then twice before blinking his eyes a couple of times as if he experienced difficulty in trying to understand what I said. “W-What?” Mr. Hunter stuttered. “I would repeat my words. The viper tattoo around your neck is the same tattoo that the runaway driver had as well. I am not trying to accuse you but I am just curious” I added, slipping the phone down my pocket. Liana stared at me so intently that it felt like her eyes almost pried into my soul, wanting to know all my thoughts and what exactly could be going through my mind. “I don't understand what you are talking about. Why would the driver have the same tattoo as mine I am sure that I am not the only person who has the same viper tattoo. All this is a coincidence and even if I am behind that attack, I would never stoop so low and attack on my own” Mr. Hunter denied instantly.Bruce Lawrence chimed in. “Yes, My father isn't the one involved and even if he was, he would never attack on his own. My father
Liana’s P.O.V One of the worst things that could happen to someone is wallowing in regret over an issue that you could have avoided and right now, that was how I felt.“Liana, was it really necessary that you had to yell at him like that? He has been nothing but nice to you! He has never treated you badly, cares about your family and this is the way you had to pay him back!” The voice in my head snapped while my eyes squeezed shut as my face flushed with embarrassment.What must he have thought about me? Does he think that I am a bad person? Does he hate me now? What if he stops talking to me? Why didn’t I control my anger then? “I am a really bad person! I am a really bad person and that was horrible of me. He must think that I am like Matilda but I have to let him know that I am nothing like her. What if he doesn't believe me and begins to treat me with disdain” I thought inwardly, gnawing on my fingers till my eyes flicked open.I took in a deep breath that calmed all my nerves i
Conan’s POVI rushed towards her before she could walk away, grabbing her by the wrist. Her eyes widened in shock and the fact that she had to flash smiles at me multiple times showed how nervous she was. But the question was why was she nervous?“Liana, someone doesn't develop amnesia in a minute” She chuckled wryly. “That is why I have to see a doctor, I think that something is wrong with me. Maybe the recent events made me so forgetful that I can hardly remember the reason why I am here” She grinned, folding her hands behind her back.I shook my head. “You saw me without clothes and that was why you were acting nervous. I mean when I called you, you looked so startled. I want you to know that I didn't pick any offense to you coming into my room without knocking or anything. It is fine by me”Liana gasped. “You were without clothes? I swear I didn't notice. I might start muttering a lot of gibberish words so I need to go to bed and just try and sleep! I have been so stressed lately
Liana’s POVConan’s words sent shivers to run down my spine and somehow, it made me curious about why he would be the only person that I would run to in the end. As if he knew the thoughts that were rushing through my head, he paused, turning to look at me while a reassuring smile slipped on his face. “Liana, I don't mean to scare you but what I am just trying to say is that you should be careful and I mean that you should be really careful,” He said, reemphasizing the ‘Careful’.Different thoughts about Kayla raced through my mind. Who was Kayla? Was she pretending like Conan said? Was she not who I assumed her to be? But, she was now a changed person. She cried that day and begged for my forgiveness and everything has been going on well between us. I think Conan misunderstood her. Kayla was a good person, that I knew of. “If she was a good person, then why did she lie about Conan sending her a cake parfait? Do not forget that she also mentioned that her relationship with Conan wa
LIana’s POVFear, shock, or surprise? I didn’t know if that would be the perfect description of the expression that Kayla had on her face. My eyes traveled from her fingers that trembled to the flash drive that fell to the ground. It was mine and that was all I knew.She made matters worse when she stepped on it, in a bid to stop me from seeing it.Kayla blinked her eyes a couple of times as I stared at her with my mouth slacked open. A wavering smile creased on her face as she dropped the phone, fiddling with her fingers.“Did Conan send this for me? That must have been nice of him. He is the best, thanks to you” Her eyes widened in fear and I was totally at a loss for words to say.Darting my eyes off her, I placed the tray on the table before focusing my gaze right on her. At that moment, a lot of answers that needed answers flooded my head but the one question that lingered for long, the one question that I couldn’t wrap my head around no matter how much I tried to.Who was she an
Liana’s P.O.V I stared so intently at her that when she locked eyes with me, she had no option but to duck her head, and worst of it all was that she was fiddling with the hem of her shirt. I tried to recollect if there was any possibility that I had seen her before. However, the more I stared, the more her name didn’t ring a bell in my head.“What did you say your name was?” I asked her while she raised her head, exchanging fleeting glances with Kayla. “Aria,” She answered.I glanced back and forth between Aria and Kayla while Kayla rolled her eyes as she plopped down on the couch, staring at her fingers. Darting my eyes back to Aria, I squinted my eyes at her suspiciously.“When did you start working here? I have never seen you here before. Have you been working here for a long time and did you just get here recently?” I asked her as she pursed her lips slightly.“I-I…..” She stuttered and before she could even talk properly, Kayla interjected. “Oh spare me the bullshit! The maid
ConanI heard the arguments that emanated up the stairs and all the while I didn't say a word nor did I interfere in any of it. The stomping of feet on the hard marbled floor caused me to sit upright and in split seconds, Liana came rushing down the stairs. There was this expression that depicted betrayal which formed on her face as she ran her hands through her tousled hair. When she caught sight of me, she opened her mouth to say something but quickly clamped her mouth shut before exclaiming. “You were right!”Shooting her a smile as he approached me. “Right about what?”“I mean you were right about everything! I can't believe that I was trying to believe that Kayla changed for good. You should have heard the horrible things that she said towards me, gosh” She cradled her head in her hands.“Well, I told you not to trust her”“I mean, you are always right though. I should have believed you instantly, this is still so hard for me and the fact that she didn’t even feel remorseful” L
